Residence Hall Association voted
Sunday night to help fund die Resident
Assistants Millennium Party with an
allocation of $350.

An amendment to allocate $200
instead of $350 was brought up and

Friendship Home, a shelter for victims
of domestic abuse. The dance will be
held Thursday, Jan. 20.

Harpei^Schramm-Smith Complex’s
Casino Night and Date Auction to be
held Dec. 9.
rnor notice was given on three bills
for the next RHA meeting, whichTvill

Swastika-like
Pokemon card
upsets families _
' CORTLANDT, N.Y. (AP) -
Eleven-year-old Stephen Langsam
prefers Japanese-language Pokemon
cards to the English version. But
when he plunked down $6 for a pack
last month, he was upset to find one
that included what he thought was a
swastika.
The red mark alongside the
Pokemon characters Golbat and
Ditto was a “manji,” a mirror image
of the Nazi swastika. In Japan, where
the symbol predates the Nazis by
centuries, it means good fortune and
can also represent a Buddhist temple.
But to Stephen, his friend Marc
Specht and their families, it was a
Nazi swastika, the spidery symbol of
hate and the Holocaust - and it didn’t
belong in a children’s game.
Nintendo of America, which
makes- Pokemon;. products,
announced Thursday that the card
will be discontinued.
